What causes dandruff?
Dandruff is a condition in which our scalp sheds skin cells in the form of white flakes. But how does it form? From where does it come? Let's see...
A yeast called Malassezia globosa, is one of the mostly accepted reasons for causing dandruff. This yeast is naturally present on our scalp. It feeds on sebum and releases oleic acid.
Now, some people are sensitive or allergic to this oleic acid. When it penetrates into the upper layers of their skin, it causes inflammation. Hence, in response to this inflammation, their skin sheds a large number of skin cells at a higher rate.
These cells then join together forming white flakes, thus causing dandruff.
Many people get dandruff. It is very common in summer as there is more inflammation due to heat and so more skin is shed.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
